(Two Years, Full Time, Residential, Post Graduate Degree Program)

Specializations Offered - Marketing, Finance, HR and Supply Chain

Management.

The MBA IB is an intensive programme specifically designed for a rewarding

career in business management, globally.

spread over the two years to create a strong foundation, which is enhanced

by specializations in the functional areas of Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain

Management and HR from the third semester.

ii) Masters of Business Administration Agri Business [MBA (AB)]


Agriculture has long been seen as a sector with tremendous potential in

India. In the last few years, the sector has seen an unprecedented upsurge

with several government and private sector initiatives. This, coupled with

changing global norms such as the WTO rulings and increased global

competitiveness means there is a tremendous need for professional courses

in agribusiness management, and this makes it one of the most challenging

and exciting sectors to be in, either as a professional or as an entrepreneur.

The MBA (AB) program is thus a response to this growing need for

professionals who can contribute to and also engineer the agribusiness

revolution.

iii) Masters of Business Administration Energy & Environment [MBA (E&E)]


Energy is at the core of all economic activity. Indeed, the pace of

development of any country is determined by this crucial sector. To ensure

sustainable development, it is imperative to understand the related

environmental issues such as climate change, loss of bio-diversity, ozone

layer depletion etc. These are global issues and have been a key feature in all

recent global debates.

As an Institute of International Business, SIIB believes that strengthening and

building capacity in this emerging sector is critical, and has taken the initiative

to create young professionals who can be assets to organizations in this

crucial sector - a sector whose importance will only continue to grow at an

amazing pace in the years to come. This MBA Energy & Environment

program provides a judicious blend of theory and practice and thus prepares

the applicant to meet contemporary global requirements.
